Re: 1969 COPO 427 MN Block
[ QUOTE ]
I did find the owner of the car for one of the motors, he said to contact him and let him know who i end up selling the motor to so he can keep track of it.   [/ QUOTE ] Now that is funny.

Re: 1969 COPO 427 MN Block
Yes you could be right. I think that it is smart to keep track of where it is. But I just thought it was funny when I read it the first time. I also think that if someone owns a COPO car they could afford the motor. But I have been wrong before. Could be a timing thing where the funds are just not there at the present time. Although now is the time to buy since the market has seemed to slow down.

Who knows, could be the economy.... [/ QUOTE ] This happened last year when COPO asking prices were 300K and up, plus 12K for THE rebuilt original 427 motor to your car is a great price even if its for a 75K car..........enter the cloners.....

[/ QUOTE ] If the guy who still has my engine was asking 12k I would of bought it up in a heartbeat, but 28000 was alittle overboard. Funny thing, next swapmeet I saw him selling at with my engine in his spot, a ce engine showed up 2 spots from him for 800.00 with the same casting dates. Guess what's in my car.
